The foods she cut out were because they “didn’t suit” her. She “doesn’t eat them [potatoes] anymore, and aubergines don’t agree with me”. Kirstie added: “Wine doesn’t agree with me so now I drink vodka martinis.”
Instead, she “eats more greens” and will “order two salads” when eating out. Kirstie also confessed to not “being a pasta person for a while”.
The presenter spoke about having to change the way she views certain foods: “It’s viewing vegetables as carbs. It’s always the beans, the broccoli – there’s no need for potatoes.”
She also eats less sugar and said: “That’s the most extraordinary thing when you reduce your sugar, it’s weird, it doesn’t feel as if you’re depriving yourself when you think it isn’t part of your life.”
